Do you hear the sounds? Ghosts dancing on the wind. Cold breath forming a halo in the night air. Hear the feet stomping out a rhythmic beat, ......the thump, thump, of the drums in the distant echo of the past. Voices raised ........entreating, summoning the spirits. Awake, O', Spirits, awake. Come dance with us in the moonlit fires, in the passion of their angry flames. .......Empower us for the new journey that we must all take. Can you hear the sounds of ghosts dancing across the heavy skies? Can you hear the snake rattles hissing out a warning? Do you see them...these ghosts called to stand beside .....all the fallen warriors. |

This seemed ritualistic in nature. Like a mystical Indian or African dance. I liked this a lot. Cool write! |

*sigh* you see how much your visions touch those who read them. You transport us to a time when visions came beneath the stars with beauty and messages. I love it. **big hugs**HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams. |

Just popped in here for a minute (my computer has been dead for a while and finally showing signs of life again though have a lot to load yet) to see if the WEB connection was working and LO! what did I find but an old friend...whose writing I've missed. Good to see you here IVY and hope to see a lot of you - seen a few others from the old homestead pop in and out periodically and kinda stay in touch with Panne though she doesn't post here. Enjoyed seeing your work again my friend... easy... jimmy |
